Ooo....how i love hoodies.....

i also really dig capes for some reason......

[luvndrumn]

A good hat. Ain't nuthin like a good hat.

And I'm not talking 'bout a baseball cap, either. THAT'S NOT A HAT!!!

[PLyTheMan]

I'm looking for a hoodie at the moment...

I like shorts alot... so much more free feeling! Warm pants are a godsend, though.

I like me some hats, chicken hats are just the best!

Old navy has awesome hoodies but they say really stupid things on them. I have one that says HARLEM on it...I am a short white girl so when i get the looks and the occasional remark I just say 'yeah, i used to play for the globetrotters...'

I forget what it says most of the time because it is just so damn yummy and fuzzy and just the right weight.

I was writing a lovely long thread - loads of links - Hoodies are a Moominmamma's obsession, and while I was was hunting round on the PC I found a whole lot of stuff I thought had been lost when the PC had to have all the software re-installed mid-summer. I saw one of the old book-marked favourites and without thinking I hit it - bang, goodbye original post.

I'll get MMM to guide you, but for now imagine yourself in this...

yeah, well I'm wearing shorts and a t-shirt with my windows all open. I do miss the comfort of winter clothing, but I don't miss the added laundry!

[HoneySuckleBlue]

That's it taunt us Gil, with your open windows, heehee, but mine are cracked too and I'm in yummy fuzzy jammies still and the leaves are swirling in this chilly fall morning:p , mebbe in the next care package i'll send some of the better ones we find:)

I have been eyeballing the blue butterfly hoodie from Gypsy rose for the entire summer MMP, it's soo pretty:) I don't want to order from them any more though because they always screw up my order...


Mebbe I'll get adventerous and just make one. Does MMM make her own??

(the long hoodie looks real practical Greg, my thighs always freeze up before anything when I'm out playing in the snow. Snow is so fun:) unless you have to be somewhere...but I never do.)

I've had mine about 15 years, got it in Hokitika.

MMM definitely doesn't make her own.....but must admit that it's a thought:)
I thought Gypsy Rose screwed up my one an only order because of shipping to the UK....but since you've had the same experience Kim....maybe that's just the Gypsy Rose way!
Patchwork hoodies are very much a US thing by the way....no one makes them over here.....if I did get off my butt and actually make a few.....I think they would sell....fancy starting a cottage industry in the UK Kim?

[HoneySuckleBlue]

They are super nice people and always try to make it right, but I just was'nt satisfied. They still have a hair stick that has been on back order since the Christmas before last...I see them advertising new hairsticks in the recent catalog...I know they got 'em!! Though a follow up call was probably in order last year sometime...so it's my own fault for not achieving closure.:& I've just heard that other people were'nt very happy either with their order. Mebbe they have just gotten too big to handle their work load effectively. It was'nt always like this...I remeber a time when they actually used to send the free bonus gift you got for making a sizeable order with what you ordered.

That's really interesting that no one makes the patchwork hoodies over there...it would be fun to do that as a cottage industry. I get really frustrated by clothing production...it takes so long you know? Do they make other patchwork stuff over there?

It's funny that your over there is my over here!......Patchwork isn't a really big thing here in the UK. You get a few people making quilts, I used to belong to a Quaker quilting group( quilting is traditional for Quakers) but patchwork clothing is definitely unusual. I've got the patchwork corduroy hoodie from Gypsy Rose, and wore it to violin camp this Summer ( gives you a good idea what English summers are like by the way:) ) ....don't think I've ever had so much attention over what I look like in my entire life!......but then most of these people were quite alternative.......there were even a couple of hippies!
I might have a go when I eventually buy a sewing machine, but I run out of patience doing the whole thing by hand....

[HoneySuckleBlue]

Yay, we need to start a hoodie club:) (...just can't bring myself to join the boobie club.)

Thanks for the pic crayola:)

What interesting tid bits of info MMM! I never knew the quakers started the quilting thing over here(or there, depending on your point of view:) )... and you met real hippies:p how cool!! I am gonna have to do some reading on them. Thank you for broadening my horizon some more.

I can't even imagine making a hoodie entirely by hand....it's bad enough with a sewing machine.
